IntroDm9
Old man sits at his desk
One year from retirement,
F6
And he's up for review
Not quite sure what to do
C5
Each passing year
The workload grows
VerseDm9C5F6F13Dm
I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late
Dm9
For things to come my way
C5F6F13DmG5
It always ends up the same
Dm9C5F13Dm
I must be missing, I must be missing the point
Dm9C5F6F13DmG5
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
ChorusF6Dm9
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
F6Dm9
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
VerseDm9
Poor little tin man still swinging his axe,
F6C5
Even though his joints are clogged with rust
Dm9C5
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
Dm9C5F6
Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day
Dm9C5F6F13Dm
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
Dm9C5F6F13DmG5
Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late
ChorusF6Dm9
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
F6Dm9
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
OutroF6Dm9
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
F6Dm9
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
F6Dm9
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die
F6G5Dm9
So, wait up for me (x3)
